Packer nice pics i wonder what year model the west coast Dog is could be past a 76 year model w/ the HALF DOG'S on the door could it ?

later

Bulldog (aka )

I think they quit using that style of grill in 69 or 70. What do you think, Mike H. ?

John

Our B-75 with Duplex direct, 22" rubber and 4.62 rear runs 57 MPH at 2100 RPM or 52MPH at 1900 rpm. If you have a 4.5 ratio it should run 53 MPH at 1900 or 59 at 2100 Rpm. John

If you get it , it's too nice to let a driver tear it up ! ! John

It's about time to take inventory again,but should be close to 110 Macks,plus about 70 offbreeds.Been bringing them home for close to 27 years now.

I'm glad I'm not your neighbor , Mike . If I was , I wouldn't get nothing done around the house when I get inn.........always be at your place having fun ! ! ! John

Tom, Was hanging that iron last trip, anything like a group of truckdrivers trying to thaw a steak in a microwave????? John

Could you just put the 673 pan on the 237 so the starter will fit? Or is there something that would restrict that? Or is swapping the pans a pain? I was thinking the 673C motor(250 hp version), if I could find one cheap and maybe freshen it up.

Just a thought...since maybe when hell freezes over I "might" ever get to put a bigger motor in my B.

Larry, I think the pan will bolt up all right , but we just put new gaskets and painted the new pan and if I remember right.. I think the pick-up for the oil pump was a little different. John

It's looking good !! I know what you run into with starter. We put a 237 in place of our 673 and thought we would use the 673 flywheel housing to keep things simple as we had to change flywheel and clutch to use our tanns. WRONG !! The starter won't fit alongside the pan. The 673 pan has a slite taper for starter clearance and the Maxidyne don't. Also, the spin-on oil filters and steering box on the B-75 collide. Had to use Baldwin B-75 ( yes,B-75 is the Baldwin # !! ) because they are shorter and clear the steering box. We used our front mount from our 673 and put it on the 237. Your's would'nt work ?? Keep the photos coming . John

barry. is that the one that was on ebay a while back. j.j.

Come on Tom..... don't leave us in suspense ! ! John

Although I welcome new publications on old iron. It is my belief that one should be careful with this party. His track record is somewhat dubious!

If your going to trash talk Mark.....let us know details. John

Those look like Valley Protein tractors. If they are..... they have been in a very STINKING environment. The rendering business !! John

hey tim. you must have run up the old  ho chi minn trail(209) before it was closed to trucks and I-84 was finished. a wreck a night. remember MUELLER'S diner?

I don't know about Tim,.... but I almost got a golf cart with a load meat one evening on the trail. John

When I was a kid, ( still am a kid at heart !! ) I spent many hours with Dad in his B-61 and I don't remember it being that noisy. Maybe it was and I just don't remember ?? Our B-75 is not bad without a muffler,but it's turboed. I'm trying to post an old photo of me in the B-61. We'll see if it works. John

Put the flywheel housing from your B on the R engine.....but check oil pan to see if the starter will fit. I learned the hard way that a b-model pan has a slight taper so there is starter clearence. you may be able to swap pans also ??? John

Hi John, thanks for the reply. It would be great if you could get a hold of one for me, the only problem is that I would need you to store it for a while if possible, I am off work right now waiting on Back surgery, but when I go back to work I get up into PA quite regular, if you cant store it maybe one of my buddies could swing by and pick it up for me, dont know how happy they would be about packing it around for a couple of weeks though!! LOL any way let me know thanks, Doug

Doug, Sorry for the late reply, but I need to be in the right mood to sit here and peck at this keyboard. It takes me forever to type a message. Those radiators probably won't go to far, so when I have time to stop, ( new 14 hour rule has been playing hell on my back road treasure hunts ) I'll get some photos and price. Where do you get to in PA ? E-mail me your e-mail address so we can talk in private . jtwoge@zoominternet.net , John

K- Whopper, I'm going to try this for the third time. I'm not having much luck with this new site. John

Do you ever notice that most older petes you see have the longest wheelbase, the biggest sleeper, the biggest stacks, the longest fuel tanks and so much garbage hanging on them ,the only guys that think they look is pete guys, just keep them looking origanl they look better        ron

k-Wopper, I thought you might enjoy this picture i found in an old mazazine. It was a working truck from Central New York State . John

Doug, I know of one, maybe two , in junk yards here in NW Pa. . I don't know which B-80 series they are , or if they're any good, but they can probably be recored. Let me know. John

I'm trying this again,I quess I need to stay home and take computer class. I'm also trying to post an att. John
